It includes detailed information about the department, its faculty members and students, a listing of core courses offered in 2017- 2018, a summary of research activities, admissions requirements, application procedures, fees and financial assistance, and information about similar matters of concern to graduate students and prospective graduate students in mathematics. This handbook is intended to complement the calendar of the university’s School of Graduate Studies, where full details on fees and general graduate studies regulations may be found.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS Mathematics has been taught at the University of Toronto since 1827. Since the first Canadian Ph.D. degree in mathematics was conferred to Samuel Beatty (under the supervision of John Charles Fields) in 1915, more than 400 Ph.D. degrees and 1,000 Master’s degrees have been awarded in this University. Many of our recent graduates are engaged in university teaching and a significant number of them hold administrative positions in universities or in the professional communities. Others are pursuing careers in industry (technological or financial), or in government. The Department of Mathematics, University of Toronto is a distinguished faculty of more than sixty mathematicians. We have a large selection of graduate courses and seminars, and a diverse student body of domestic and international students, yet classes are small and the ratio of graduate students to faculty is low. We are in a unique position to take maximum advantage of the presence of the Fields Institute, which features special programs in pure and applied mathematics. Currently the department has 139 graduate students, of whom 27 are enrolled in the Master’s program, 104 in the Ph.D. program, 2 in non-degree programs, 2 international visiting research graduate students and 4 in the part-time Master’s program. Opportunities for graduate study and research are available in most of the main fields of pure and applied mathematics. These fields include real and complex analysis, ordinary and partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, nonlinear analysis, several complex variables, functional analysis, operator theory, C*-algebras, ergodic theory, group theory, analytic and algebraic number theory, Lie groups and Lie algebras, automorphic forms, commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, singularity theory, differential geometry, symplectic geometry, classical synthetic geometry, algebraic topology, set theory, set theoretic topology, mathematical physics, fluid mechanics, probability (in cooperation with the Department of Statistics), combinatorics, optimization, control theory, dynamical systems, computer algebra, cryptography, and mathematical finance. We offer a research-oriented Ph.D., and Master’s program. Very strong students may be admitted directly to the Ph.D. program with a Bachelor’s degree; otherwise; it is normal to do a 1-year Master’s degree first. (Provisional admission to the Ph.D. program may be granted at the time of admission to the Master’s program.) The Master’s program may be extended to 16 months or 24 months for students who do not have a complete undergraduate preparation, or for industrial students engaged in a project. There is a separate Master’s of Mathematical Finance Program not directly under the Department’s jurisdiction, but with which some of our faculty members are associated. During their studies here, graduate students are encouraged to participate in the life of the close community of U of T mathematics. Almost all of them do some work in connection with undergraduate teaching, either as tutorial leaders, markers, or, especially in later years of their program, instructors. There is a Mathematics Graduate Student Association, which organizes social and academic events and makes students feel welcome. 5 GRADUATE FACULTY MEMBERS AKCOGLU, M.A. (Professor Emeritus) Ph.D. 1963 (Brown) Ergodic theory, functional analysis, harmonic analysis ALEXAKIS, Spyros (Professor) Ph.D. 2005 (Princeton) Geometric analysis and general relativity ARETAKIS, S.

    Newsletter VOLUME 50, NO. 6 • NOVEMBER–DECEMBER 2020 PRESIDENT’S REPORT By now it is obvious that our old lives are not returning anytime soon. For a mathematician, being holed up alone can be a great opportunity for good research. But even for the most head-in-theorems mathematicians, the underlying stress of these times is wearing. According to the CDC 40% of Americans were struggling with mental health or substance abuse in June—two to three times higher than The purpose of the Association for Women in Mathematics is normal (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6932a1.htm). So you are not alone (well, you are socially distanced, but you know what I mean). I ask of you • to encourage women and girls to two things in this extraordinary time: give yourself permission to not be quite the study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and superwomen you usually are, and give others a little extra slack, too. • to promote equal opportunity and Actually, I hope we can do both of these things now and in the future, the equal treatment of women and beyond pandemics, climate calamities, glaring racism, and deep political and social girls in the mathematical sciences. divides. It is hard to always get it right, so I hope we will assume the best of ourselves and of each other. That means understanding that people we love may do things we do not like, but we still love them. And it means when people we don’t know do something we find problematic, we should not assume they are bad people.
